Garden Dreams and Nightmares

Hopefully gardeners are not a squeamish lot and this picture won't gross anybody out. I was planting my new perennials last evening and I couldn't believe the number of huge grubs I came across. I have never seen grubs this large before. Usually I will squish them when I find them but I could never squish one of these big ones. They were even gross to touch. They felt so full and bloated as if they would burst at the slightest touch. The one on the right is a large but normal size grub.

I even had a dream about these grubs last night. I dreamed I was gardening and everywhere I looked were these massive grubs, of course in my dream they were even larger than the ones I actually found.

It is funny how often I dream about my garden and flowers. Sometimes though they are nightmares instead. Like the one I had the other night. I dreamed I was planting flowers and ran out of space, I went to my neighbors house and started planting my flowers in his front flower bed thinking this was a nice gesture, until I was confronted by the angry neighbor. I ran away in embarrassment wondering how I could have been so dumb for doing that without asking first.

About Me

Welcome to Robin's Nesting Place!
I am Robin! I have been married for 35 years to my best friend. I have two children, a daughter, (who is married and has blessed me with my first precious grandchild) and son who will be getting married in October 2017. I was incredibly blessed to be home with them throughout their childhood and homeschool them.
Now that they are out of the nest, I'm enjoying having a small shop where I sell my photography cards, painted furniture and whatever else strikes my fancy!
Thanks so much for stopping by the Nest!
